If you don't do this then your friends leave you and your reputation disappears. So in the end if you want to create a social network it should have something to offer your friends not just be a means to creating a reputation, or you'll just be developing a reputation for being a fraud and that isn't much use to anyone.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-73556577569034096182008-08-05T08:49:00.000+01:002008-08-05T08:49:00.000+01:00I found social networking as a tool which had been...I found social networking as a tool which had been primarily designed for social interaction and sharing.

I'm always tempted to block anonymous postings anyway, and this one was quite obviously an attempt to promote the persons own service (not necessarily anything wrong with that). I decided in the end let it through as it might be useful for some people searching for networks on particular topics and because people might want to register their networks there (I'm assuming it's free).<BR/><BR/>As for promoting networks, that is tricky, but I hope it's like blogs, if you have good original content and you're offering a genuine service then people will put the word out. It takes time though and submitting your network, blog or site to services like this probably won't do any harm. The networks I'm working on at the moment are for specific groups, so I haven't had to cross that bridge yet.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/>Nik PeacheyNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-77966217092471625632008-06-16T13:50:00.000+01:002008-06-16T13:50:00.000+01:00I checked out the findasocialnetwork site .. and d...I checked out the findasocialnetwork site .. and discovered that it is not a search engine at all. It is a directory service that only includes sites that have been physically added (and approved) to a database by "submit site." Many important social networks are not even returned in the results .. and of course new and interesting networks won't be their either. But, I agree that Google doesn't really return results that always match the user's needs. That is why having a Personal Learning Network is so important, like twitter, diigo, delicious, Nings, etc. because the members (that share common interests) serve as the "filter" to bring the most relevant resources to the top. Directory services, I'm afraid,really do not achieve the best results either.Frank's Bloghttp://franksblog.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-73348276413425992422008-06-15T23:58:00.000+01:002008-06-15T23:58:00.000+01:00With so many social networks out there now, it's d...With so many social networks out there now, it's difficult finding one related to your subject of interest or marketing niche.
